Re: Flying BF-109E's through a train tunnel.

I'm afraid that story was created after several beers on a very warm Australian summer evening.

A double track tunnel has a width of approximately 8 meters. That may be sufficient for a Gee Bee Racer with a span 7,62m but not for a Bf 109E with 9.87m.

Furthermore the propeller of the first aircraft creates so much turbulences that the following aircraft would crash immediately.
